#undead circus

It’s about this circus that is home to people 25 year and under who have died (and stay the age they were when they died until they are ready to leave the circus and live a full life). The gods who take these young people in act as their caregivers and often perform in the circus with them.

1st character we are meeting is Cosmo, who is the latest addition to the circus and the much anticipated permanent ringmaster (unless they need people who can speak another language, then there are other members who are bilingual/multilingual). They died due to being sacrificed by a cult that they were unknowingly raised in (in Canada), and the god who they were sacrificed to, the god(dess) (genderfluid) of the universe didn’t like that, so they made sure to make those cult members pay the ultimate price for sacrificing a young 19 year old to their warped mindset. Cosmo has a lot of powers due to being brought in by the ultimate god, but doesn’t really have anything to use it for yet, so just uses it for fun things when they can.

2nd character is named Cora and was also 19 when she died, but died in 1982 in a car crash in India. She is a puppeteer for a kids section for when the noises or content of the circus is too much for the young children. She was brought to the circus by the god of storytelling due to her imaginative nature and interest in different stories.

well my head's not feeling so great but here's a quickie of ol' bones mclellan in one of his many different coloured suits...

"Dead men tell no tales"

how about

"Dead men tell tall tales"?

herrumph.

ah.

should it even be a circus cos like a Carnival would give me more attractions to make more talented undead people for. especially since Bones McClellan's wife is supposed to be a crooner.

it would also give the girl more stuff to look around and gawk at rather than just running around a Big Top tent. also hOW would her boyfriend get eaten if it's a CIRCUS ???
